Bezerra et al. 2008 proposed a new method, based on Yule-Walker equations, to estimate the\r\nARMA spectral model. In this paper, a Bayesian approach is developed for this model by using\r\nthe noninformative prior proposed by Jeffreys 1967. The Bayesian computations, simulation via\r\nMarkov Monte Carlo MCMC is carried out and characteristics of marginal posterior distributions\r\nsuch as Bayes estimator and confidence interval for the parameters of the ARMA model are\r\nderived. Both methods are also compared with the traditional least squares and maximum\r\nlikelihood approaches and a numerical illustration with two examples of the ARMA model is\r\npresented to evaluate the performance of the procedures...
We investigate the accuracy and the computational efficiency of the numerical schemes for evaluating fluid forces in Cartesian\ngrid systems. A comparison is made between two different types of schemes, namely, polygon-based methods and mesh-based\nmethods, which differ in the discretization of the surface of the object. The present assessment is intended to investigate the effects\nof the Reynolds number, the object motion, and the complexity of the object surface.The results show that the mesh-based methods\nwork as well as the polygon-based methods, even if the object surface is discretized in a staircase manner. In addition, the results\nalso show that the accuracy of the mesh-based methods is strongly dependent on the evaluation of shear stresses, and thus they\nmust be evaluated by using a reliable method, such as the ghost-cell or ghost-fluid method....
In any completely close complex field C, generalized transcendental meromorphic functions may have some new properties. It is well known that a meromorphic function of characteristic zero is a rational function. This paper introduced some mathematical properties of the transcendental meromorphic function, which is generalized to the meromorphic function by multiplying and differentiating the generalized meromorphic function....................
In this work, the fluid mechanics performance of four different contraction wall shapes has\nbeen studied and compared side-by-side by computational simulation, and the effect of contraction\ncross-sectional shape on the flow uniformity at the contraction exit has been included as well.\nA different contraction wall shape could result in up to an extra 4% pressure drop of a closed-loop\nwind tunnel, and the contraction wall shape has a stronger influence on the pressure loss than the\ncontraction cross-sectional shape. The first and the second derivatives from different wall shape\nequations could provide a hint for qualitatively comparing the flow uniformity at the contraction\nexits. A wind tunnel contraction with an octagonal shape provides not only better fluid mechanics\nperformance than that with a circular or a square cross-sectional shape, but also lower manufacturing\ncosts. Moreover, a smaller blockage ratio within the test section can be achieved by employing an\noctagonal cross-sectional shape instead of a circular cross-sectional shape under the same hydraulic\ndiameter circumstance. A wind tunnel contraction with an octagonal cross-sectional shape is\nrecommended to be a design candidate....
This paper discusses the global exponential stability of a class of difference equations.\r\nSufficient and necessary conditions for the global exponential stability are derived.\r\nParticularly, the equivalent relationship between the global exponential stability of\r\ndifference equations and the contractive property of the nonlinear operator of the\r\nsystems is shown....
Turkish Sugar Inc., a public enterprise including 25 factories, is the first corporation of Turkish\r\nindustry. According to the government policy, public sugar factories PSFs will be privatized\r\nas geography-based 6 portfolio groups in two years. As performance measures of PSF affect\r\ngovernment, sugar producers, and several unions in privatizing process, a systematic approach\r\nis necessary to measure efficiencies and grouping factories. This paper uses a new DEA- Data\r\nEnvelopment Analysis- based clustering approach for measuring efficiency scores of PSF and\r\ngrouping them instead of geography- based portfolio groups. This new approach can help decision\r\nmakers in privatizing process. At the same time, target values obtained by dual model can be used\r\nto eliminate inefficiencies of some PSFs....
We attempt to address the issues associated with reliability estimation for phased-mission systems (PMS) and present a novel datadriven\napproach to achieve reliability estimation for PMS using the condition monitoring information and degradation data of such\nsystem under dynamic operating scenario. In this sense, this paper differs from the existing methods only considering the static\nscenario without using the real-time information, which aims to estimate the reliability for a population but not for an individual. In\nthe presented approach, to establish a linkage between the historical data and real-time information of the individual PMS,we adopt\na stochastic filtering model to model the phase duration and obtain the updated estimation of the mission time by Bayesian law at\neach phase. At themeanwhile, the lifetime of PMS is estimated fromdegradation data, which are modeled by an adaptive Brownian\nmotion. As such, themission reliability can be real time obtained through the estimated distribution of the mission time in conjunction\nwith the estimated lifetime distribution.We demonstrate the usefulness of the developed approach via a numerical example....

We study the space that consists of all nonsingular binary matrices, that is, GLn(Z2). The space is quite important in that it is\r\nused for the change of basis in binary representation, which is the encoding typically adopted in genetic algorithms. We analyze\r\nthe properties of GLn(Z2) and theoretically design possible encodings and their corresponding recombination operators for\r\nevolutionary algorithms.We present approaches based on elementary matrices of linear algebra as well as typical two-dimensional\r\nones....
In this research work, we present a mathematical model for the control of cholera outbreak without natural recovery. This follows a slight modification as compared to previous cholera models for the Nigerian case. Our model incorporates treatment, water hygiene as well as environmental sanitation. The model employs a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which is analyzed in detail for its stability properties. We compute the basic reproduction ratio R0 for the various control parameters and discover that with proper combination of control measures, the spread of cholera could be minimized. Numerical simulation of the cholera model is done using MathCAD14, and the graphical profiles of the main variables are depicted. We conclude that improvement in treatment, water hygiene and the environmental sanitation is indeed effective in eradicating the cholera epidemic....
